First Snow Today

It melted on the paved areas, and only stayed on the bare ground and grass, but it was definitely snow, not just flurries.

Past Participles

Write, wrote, written
Smite, smote, smitten
Ride, rode, ridden
Stride, strode, stridden

I came across the word "stridden" used in a story the other day, and I was taken quite by surprise. But I suppose it is correct.

Then there is "bedridden." What is the derivation of that?
